I have to say that the more I interact with Muslims, the more it seems that Islam is based on argument! The problem with argument is that reaches for the available things accessible to a human being and constructs a narrative around it. As a methodology for discussing measuring a shed or designing a curriculum, human reasoning is great. For understanding God it seems pitifully ill equipped. This shows in particular in the reasons given by Islam for rejecting a Triune God.
The second aspect of “argument” as a method is that it uses force of character to attempt to goad people into a position. I have purposefully ignored all such attempts as they have nothing to do with reason. To “win” an argument using rhetorical techniques over a theological point is merely a
Pyrrhic victory as truth usually slips out of the door the moment the argumentative contingent move in.
1. Ok, lets see.
Muslims = Arguments.
Christians = Emotions.
2. You're stuck on a nursery-level understanding of God, and one not gained from experience. You must also remember that Muslims aren't the only ones that completely reject your absurd anti-scriptural heretical trinity doctrine. Don't act like we're the only one's who do.
3. Not at all, this only true on your side. And it shows in how little you think of us, how openly you insult us and mock us. You have no arguments, that's the problem. This thread is a debate afterall, supposedly.
As for “defending” the Bible, the Word of God is quite able to defend itself.
You accept the Holy Qur'an now? that's great to hear!
But you're not, you're just being facetious.
Which book in the Bible is the "word of God"? humor me.
That is a question you can never answer honestly because you have no revelation from God, only anonymous biographical texts, poems and letters. Nothing about that is even scripture.
The prophecies of the Bible run concurrent to its timeframe for writing, and God’s
fulfillments of these test the bounds of most people’s credulity to simply assign these to chance.
Not really. Find a single two Christians that agrees with you, you'll be hard pressed.
The OT and NT are separate
Indeed. Hence why so many people view them both as the Tanakh with a bunch of scraps sellotaped onto the back.
one showing God’s plan of redemption in veiled form, the other overtly. Detailed study of both reveals the fact that Jesus was truly the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world.
Yes, that's what a Christian would say. You're just giving me your apologetic doctrine here. Nothing I didn't know.
The
hidden numeric values of the words in Greek and Hebrew reveal and support the written message in so many places that unless the writers were mathematical geniuses, would literally have been an impossible feat to write.
Numerology? lmao.
Finally, we live in times of prophetic fulfilment where those who continue to reject Jesus as Saviour and Lord may well find themselves within times where the only piece of information NOT to be fake news will be the Bible itself.
And even that will be 'fake news'.
You are just giving me run-of-the-mill Christian doctrine again, we know you believe this, as I've said many times before. We know how exclusivist you are and how strongly you lack any real spirituality. So stuck in the anti-Jewish polemic, to counter them validly refusing to accept your 'strange gods' (Deuteronomy 13:3)
You're constantly so far from reality that you've got to antagonize everyone for not committing your idolatry. I'm truly not bothered in the slightest by your empty threats, you're just continuing to soil the name of Jesus, as Christians before you have for the past 2000 years (however even they were better connected to true Christians theology)
